It's thawing

And all the sounds now are drip's and drop's and trickle's and clink's as the cold melts and mellows, and the Sun - the Sun! - is making a mighty effort and for 26 straight minutes he's shone clear onto this gleaming world and oh oh oh my word, for the first time in a monthI feel like going outside.

I bow again. Your having no picture leaves me to wonder if the compliment is from a gentleman or a fellow well-bred young lady; since the first case is possible, I will take the usual precaution and let you in on the secret that in Real Life I look like an insane tatterdemalion, have dreadful breath, a few whiskers, and hardly ever dress in black and white.
